Top Pennsylvania lineman plays both ways
Lakeland (Pa.) junior offensive guard / defensive tackle Keith Galinsky has garnered awards on both sides of the ball the last two seasons, and expects to do the same next year as a senior. He projects as an offensive lineman at the next level and is ready to prove himself this fall.
At 6-foot-1, Galinsky weighs 250 pounds and was named honorable mention all-league as a sophomore . As a junior he made the all-region team at guard, and was all-league and all-region as a defensive tackle.

Boston College and Syracuse are the two schools that have begun to court him early in the recruiting process, but Galinsky has not begun to think about where he will wind up. Proximity to home will play a role, though.
“I am starting to look at the closer colleges,” he explained. “The biggest things will be who I get scholarships from and just the overall college.” He has not been to any of the campuses yet, but plans to attend several camps this summer to get things started.
“I am just a team player,” Keith described himself. “I try to give other guys confidence, and I always work hard.” He is also an honor roll student, so qualifying should not be a problem.
